Chapter 386 Devoured Humans
The monsters have gentle smiles, and there is no hint of hostility in their expressions, just like kind elders or believers reading the Bible.
They approached step by step, and even the most well-trained soldiers found it difficult to take such uniform steps. The ground shook slightly with their footsteps, and what followed was an indescribable pressure, like two walls.
The wall that can move on its own is slowly squeezing towards itself, crushing bones and crushing internal organs.
The monsters look "normal" in appearance.
It's just that this so-called "normal" at this moment is a complete "abnormality".
Several people surrounded by them in the center were crying, screaming, begging for mercy, and hysterical, but they couldn't even calm down their usual gentle smiles.
The monsters finally walked in front of those people. The man who was standing at the front weakly dropped the wooden stick in his hand, collapsed and knelt on the ground. They slowly stretched out their hands to the man, and then
His posture carries a sense of holiness that only saints can possess, like a priest holding up holy water to baptize sinners——
Their hands touched the man's face and made contact with his skin.
As a result, the man's body began to wither little by little, and his flesh and blood seemed to be absorbed by the pairs of palms that were touching his body, melting as quickly as snowdrifts in the sun.
At the end of his life, a smile actually appeared on the man's face. There was an indescribable surprise in that smile, which made people subconsciously think of the most devout believers witnessing the opening of the door to heaven. It made people think of the end.
The criminal who was saved from the stake in one second...
His tongue had been melted long ago, and no onlooker could know what he saw at that last moment.
With impeccable gentle smiles, the monsters caressed the man's face like sculptures carved by a peerless genius, until the last trace of flesh and blood disappeared from the man's body, and his empty clothes fell to the ground.
There was a period of noise and bustle, and then at a certain point everything returned to silence.
Soon, the streets echoed with the sound of uniform footsteps again. Amidst the vibrations of the ground, the monsters smiled.
Leave.
On the ground at that street corner, only a few shabby clothes remained, and not even a drop of blood remained. Those people seemed to have evaporated and completely disappeared from this world, without any trace left.
If He Yuyao had not witnessed all this with his extraordinary ability, He Yuyao would not even have thought that that shabby dress was a few living humans just a few minutes ago.
Until the team of monsters completely disappeared at the end of the street, and until the soles of his feet that were close to the ground could no longer feel the shock of any uniform footsteps, He Yuyao CIA stood up with a sigh of relief and signaled behind him
The people who were huddled together covering each other's mouths followed him.
She already knows what happened to the missing people, which is a good thing. At least she no longer knows nothing about the predatory methods of those monsters. This is undoubtedly a key piece of information when facing the infected in the future.
I am somewhat on guard against weird abilities - at least, avoid any direct physical contact with them.
"Come on everyone, turn around and walk a short distance to our safe house." As he was about to reach the end, He Yuyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his voice and said to the people behind him.
The adventure was coming to an end, and the girl's steps became a little lighter. She took the lead and walked at the front of the team.
She turned the last corner and faced the dazzling sunshine, a safe house less than fifty meters away in a straight line, and the middle-aged man standing in the sun with a gentle smile.
The blood flowing all over He Yuyao's body solidified instantly.
The middle-aged man also saw He Yuyao. The five mouths on his face smiled even brighter, and golden light shone in his seven eyes.
…
"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me? This is safe house No. 29. This is James's 207th contact attempt since the outbreak of the plague. We are members of the Su family's 'law enforcers' branch. There were 7 people in the original team, and there are currently two
People, 57 civilians have been gathered in the safe house. If anyone can hear me... screw you, do you have a word? We have no fresh water and no food! Every time we collect supplies, one person dies. The day before yesterday was Dior.
, last week it was Jason... and he brought back a bunch of useless survivors! Can you and the others do it?
Can hear it! Fuck you! Asshole! Go to hell!”
There was still the familiar rustling sound in my ears, without any response from anyone, and without any hope.
James angrily pulled off his headphones and almost smashed the radio station in front of him with a punch, but he forced himself to pause at the last second.
Although he was greeted with hope again and again, he knew very well that this radio station was really the last hope for this so-called "safe house".
There was no lie in his hysteria just now. During this period, his teammates almost died one after another in front of his eyes. Every time the two of them went out to collect food and fresh water, someone would be left behind because of the pursuit of those monsters.
...After that, he never saw those people who left behind.
Those endings are known without even thinking about them.
Today, when the fresh water and food have been exhausted again, only myself and He Yuyao are left. This time, it is no longer possible to send two more people, because the only person who can use the "radio station blessed by extraordinary power" is only myself.
, he must stay in front of the radio station 24 hours a day to wait for any possible news.
He was always worried about whether He Yuyao could come back smoothly. Before the girl left, he had repeatedly warned her that she did not need to continue gathering survivors, and that she only needed food and fresh water - there was really no way to shelter more people in the safe house.
The barrier here was originally set up by Su Qian'er to conceal the auras of no more than ten people, but now it needed to cover up nearly sixty people. It was already seriously overloaded. James himself didn't even know that this barrier could still be used.
How long will it last?
But he also knew that with He Yuyao's kindness, no matter how many times he warned her, she would still bring some survivors back.
To be fair, even if I have hardened my heart, if I see a helpless child, I still can't help but help.
"Go and take a look, she should be back too..." James swallowed the second half of the sentence, not wanting to think about the bad possibilities at all.
He Yuyao will be fine, she has always been so kind, and the world will not treat her like that.
